No, wireless charging has nothing to do with the country you are in and it is available on all iPhones starting with the iPhone 8/8 Plus. It works with most cases, but obviously if you have a super thick case with some sort of clip in the back it probably won’t work. I just use a fairly minimalist case and it works fine, also, if the case has metal in it, it may not work, either. One thing to remember is that many wireless chargers, especially the cheaper ones, may charge your phone a bit slower than if you plug it in, but it depends a little bit also on whether you use the standard 5 Watt wall plug which comes with an iPhone or a wall adapter with a bit more output like the one that comes with an iPad which you can buy separately, Anker also has many wall adapters. A lot of the Anker ones have 2, 3, 4 or even 5 USB ports. There are a number of fast charge standards out there, but of course apple is using their own for which you need a wireless charging pad which can deliver 7.5 Watts and supports Apple’s fast charge technology. I may not plug my phone in, but if I have a charging pad on my desk it’s just as easy to lay the phone down on it than laying it on my desk. Other than that there is not much to know, you can buy inexpensive chargers on Amazon for around $$20 to $30 or you can buy brand name ones like from Belkin, Mophie and so on and they can cost $40 or even $70 here in Canada, Anker also has some more expensive ones like this one:

Thanks much, Sieghard, No, I didn’t know about wireless charging. My impression was that wireless charging was available in US only. I would like to hear more about wireless charging if we have it in Canada. Would it work with my case on? I just purchased a new case last week from Amazon as the old one is dead. I don’t remember its name but it says it comes with kickstand. Thanks!

It’s just a name, they could have called it Anker Powerline XT or whatever, don’t worry about it. The Anker cables are very good, very inexpensive compared to Apple cables and much more durable. You know that your iPhone 8 also supports wireless charging, right? You can buy any number of wireless charging pads or stands and this way you can put your phone down to charge yet have the Lightning port free in case you want to plug in a headset.
